| lol @metalsnakezero Having seen your screenshots prior to watching the episode I thought this anime's turned into full-fledged yuri. Well, it's not like it doesn't have some vibes in that direction >.> This episode was quite different from the previous two, but I still enjoyed it. A change of pace ad some hilarious moments. I knew that sooner or later they'd start portraying Ohana's grandma as not such a bad person as she seemed in the beginning. The funniest part of the ep was the old man blushing at the mention of being put into bondage. I nearly fell off the chair cuz I didn't expect such kind of humor in Hanasaku Iroha Oh, and Ohana wants to sparkle :D The new girl from the preview kinda reminds me of Kurumi from Kimi ni Todoke. |

| woah, that was sparkly awesome. i enjoyed the fan service? haha |
    |
| love it , love this ep, love this show =) 5/5, yeah, a change in pace is necessary :)). Ohana is still air-head and lovely as always, but I didn't expect that Nako was also adorable too. |
 Here's a lesson on one aspect of Japanese (pornographic) culture... Kinbaku! (The link is NFSW!!! even though it is a Wikipedia article. Read it at your own risk!)  Here's Masochist No. 2... XD (No. 1 is Ohana-chan, as she doesn't mind getting slapped on her face and she was so cooperative with the rope-play...) |
 |
 Oh lawdy |
| Ok™ |
| I would loved to have that yuri script from the perv and improve it. Ohana in bondage is neat too bad the man can't rape for shit and he really got what he deserved but I didn't think he would jump off the cliff. 5/5 |
 |
| I could hear the loud sound of all my expectations going down the drain - and it wasn't pleasant. Guess I was a fool for believing that I'd get something serious and good for once, instead of terrible humor and silly drama. |
 |
| Woah! Ohana have a seriouse illness it seems " a total and absolute lack of self-awareness". I seen air-headed characters befor, but this is just on a whole other level. |
| An OK episode start and result was quite different, i didn't expected something like that with pervert author. granny already showing her loving side. i thought it will take sometime. getting confined and reading situations like that with a calm face while praising him. its was like, ohana used to it. i thought she will scream hard. edit: now i think about it again. i didn't liked this episode. first two episode was really good but this episode ruined good build-up plot. Ohana trying to console him because he wrote "i want to shine" and everyone was listening something like that, pretty lame. |

| Lol bondage. That draft was...something else O.o Nako being a swimmer...and dem curves after coming out of the water... A bit lighthearted but I like it. |
 |
| Yes, this show knows how to make me happy by even throwing in some girl action in the bath. I love this show :) |
| Where my yuri drama that MAL's tag promised me few months ago...? |
| More great stuff from this show. The small doses of ecchiness were unexpected but it was a nice change of pace, as was the comedy. I liked it. We also get to know the characters better, especially Nako, the perverted author, and the grandma. There can't be drama in every episode, as then it would get boring. They should continue changing things to keep the series from gettng stale. Hopefully the series will remain this good, if not better! |
| Mmm bondage and yuri novels. Again a pretty good and rather funny episode especially the part where Ohana was reading the yuri novel about her Minko and Nako. And the reaction of those 2 when she told them about what she wrote. The writher got himself in allot of trouble and caused even more trouble along the way and i am surprised he was forgiven. The car chase was also funny with them stopping halfway to get some food and wait on the cooking assistant. It seems that the grandmother does care about Ohana and that she is even accepting her and respecting her more and more. I guess she isn't such a bad person after all and setting her business before everything is a usual way of thinking when running your own business. |
Alex_Saxon said: That was kind of an awkward episode, really seemed to kill the good atmosphere which had been built up. It had it's funny moments, but the fanservice felt really out of place. This, this, a thousand times this. Very little of what I liked about the previous two episodes seemed to be present this week, so colour me extremely disappointed. I can't believe that this is the show that finally made me create an account on MAL. |

| also, when it comes to inn workers, granny can slap minko without her fault and when it comes to customers, she can forgive them, even if they bondage her granddaughter and other inn workers and do sexual-harassment. quite hilarious isn't it. |
|
| The Beanman's blushing was hilarious. This episode kinda ruined the atmosphere but still enjoyed it. |
| I don't think it's that much of a stretch, the way Ohana reacted. after all, she was raised by a similarly irresponsible mom. and it was good to see her get a little slack, not every episode needs to screw her over into suicidal depression. still, this show is beautiful on the visuals. backgrounds are just...wow and animation is just amazing. |
| Whoa, Saten really is still a slut. On the other hand, Mamiko Noto was lovely with her stretches and fish stealing this episode. |

| That was just stupid and implausible. Loved the show so far and hope this won't repeat itself. |
| starts with bondage... yuri novel... old man blushing...  |
 |
| Kinda hoping he was gonna do more with her bondage-self! XDD Great episode!!! :3 I didnt expect Nako to be such a good swimmer! XD Cant wait for next week! >;D When is Ko-chan comming back??? D; |
| This animes just gives me a great vibe; I always feel quite refreshed after watching it xD I couldn't help it but smile at the textbook - "Balut" part xD |

It's hard to make an episode which continuously tops the previous ones. Besides, the anime hasn't lost it's value to me. |
| I was hoping something more serious would happen. I was a bit disappointed. I guess this is one direction to go. |
| Oh man, this episode... I don't even know what to say. Ohana is too nice to that pervert, actually, everyone is. He must have broken a dozen laws in this episode (kidnapping Ohana and stealing the hotel's truck, for starters), but yet in the end, everyone decided to help him? Lol. Minko and Nako were cute this episode, though. And obaasan showed her soft side at the end. But I loved how she pwned the pervert by saying she was only being nice because it's part of her job :D |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| This episode was quite the fanservice piece. Hanasaku Iroha definitely isn't my top watch for the season but it's pretty consistant so far, and nothing less than a quality production. The animation is still beautiful and Ohana really hasn't pulled any surprises with how she responds to situations. I like that the rivalry bewteen her and Minko hasn't jumped ship to friendship mode as easily as Nako did. Maybe I'm just hoping for something more out of the show. |
| Fuck yeah, some yuri action!! Also I don't get that girl, she's trusting the guy who's just performed a bondage session on her and wrote a yuri novel with her as main protagonist... I'd be seriously creep'd out if I were her. I enjoyed this episode, but ecchi gags really doesn't fit the mood of this anime. |
| Holy crap. Why was that so awesome? That guy was so pathetic but the other characters were amazing. Basically every female character, and the old man too, made me go "wow your friggin' awesome." Of course to a certain extent. Surprisingly good season. So far this is the only show that has perfect scores for three episodes in my book. |
Inarius said: Pretty much my expression too...In the first place, this doesn't need fanservice. I don't know if it's the stupid producers' or director's decision, but what the hell? - ok, I admit the fanservice was beautifully done, but still out of place. Also, Ohana's reactions were hard to believe, even for a girl that "goes with the flow." And the grandmother that doesn't mind Ohana being tied in bondage?, even if "innocently" done, even if consensual, it's still molesting a minor... On the other hand, the one part that made me laugh was when Ohana said the novelist helped her realize something about herself... for a second there I thought she was gonna say she was a lesbian. Anyway, I guess my main problem is that my expectations were built too high from the previous episodes, this wasn't all that bad, simply not nearly as good as the others... I'm still eager to see the next episode... |
"Against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain" Friedrich Schiller |
Well that was pretty wild of the novelist like everyone says in the following, looks like he likes bondage and is quite the pervert from the looks of the spoiler Looks like Nako has yuri tendencies from the looks of the following,  and so does Minko from the looks of the following spoiler All in all the novelist is a pathetic suicidal fellow whom I also felt he was pathetic from last episode. I hope Ohana taught him some 101 life lessons of how to keep it up from going to waste. Ajunky said: Yeah it was out of place and I just wonder if the BD/DVDs will have more skin to show but all that is so unnecessary in this series IMO. There are plenty of other ones this season that do a far better job.Inarius said: Pretty much my expression too...In the first place, this doesn't need fan service. I don't know if it's the stupid producers' or director's decision, but what the hell? - OK, I admit the fan service was beautifully done, but still out of place. Ajunky said: It's still is molesting a minor! She can press charges against MR. Novelist and have a scandal going on towards the inn.Also, Ohana's reactions were hard to believe, even for a girl that "goes with the flow." And the grandmother that doesn't mind Ohana being tied in bondage?, even if "innocently" done, even if consensual, it's still molesting a minor... Ajunky said: Ohana of course meant life lessons as her mother completely corrupted her mind with not trusting anyone in episode 2. Of course Ohana had her first experience in bondage but I am not sure she will apply that in her sexual future life. Not sure at all in fact.On the other hand, the one part that made me laugh was when Ohana said the novelist helped her realize something about herself... for a second there I thought she was gonna say she was a lesbian. |

| Lol the yuri scenes are kinda funny. Especially when the author popped his head in and the mood went down from there. Best moment had to be the beanman blushing from the idea of bondage. :D |
| Ohana is just weird, but thats what I like about her. For the episode, well I guess it was good. There were some funny moments too. |
| I like that zoom effect that took the camera through the whole place. xD Wow. He actually tied her up...and Ohana acted like it was nothing after she got the gag off. Couldn't he go to jail for that? LOL they animated the novel! Hilarious. Lmfao that old man. I like how everyone piles in the van to chase after him when he steals the truck. Nako proved herself by saving that dude after he jumped...I didn't expect her to do it at all. The new insult Minko came up with for Ohana is cute too. |
Alex_Saxon said: That was kind of an awkward episode, really seemed to kill the good atmosphere which had been built up. It had it's funny moments, but the fanservice felt really out of place. Totally agree with you. |

Ousto said: From seeing Law and Order SVU unless Ohana presses charges in Japan it can be considered as sexual harassment indeed going as far as sexual abuse. Age of consent is 16 so I am guessing she did not mind it at all somehow.Wow. He actually tied her up...and Ohana acted like it was nothing after she got the gag off. Couldn't he go to jail for that? Malestel said: With you that makes it a majority so far as 3 of us and more are against it. Fan service just GTFO from this series, you need to be replaced with drama and rich emotional moments. Right? Leave animes like Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai to do the job better.Why????? This ep just smashed what the previous 2 managed to build up. Useless fanservice can be found in every other anime, there should be no need to put it into something like this. Malestel said: Unfortunately it failed me since episode 1 compared to Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Boku-tachi wa Mada Shiranai, which moved me since episode 1. This whole series is going to take some time to build up into something as dense as Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Boku-tachi wa Mada Shiranai drama. I will be looking forward to that but for now it's kind of mediocre at best although the art and interactions of characters are nice.Would be nice if it went back to coming of age drama, and didn't go down the comedy/fanservice route. |
| uh..... @.@ |
| This was weird seeing bondage after i discovered the Nana to Kaoru s/m stuff lol. Totally thought some crazy stuff was gonna go down, and was like sparkles!? WTF!?!?!? But whatev, i got to see Nako in wet shirt with hair down, i'll be happy man for the rest of the week.  great episode KEEP'em COMMIN!!!! |

| Even though i enjoyed the episode but thought that, this show would be more serious in the drama genre. Ohana being all nonchalant at the bondage scene most probably was meant to deliver a 'lol scene' Liking Minko a lot now and surprisingly, Chiaki Omigawa has improved her VA skills. |
